Curtis Granderson Introduced As Newest Member of the New York Mets

The New York Mets introduced former Yankees & Tigers outfielder Curtis Granderson[1] today at the Winter Meetings in Orland0.

[2]After spending the first 6 years of his career with the Detroit Tigers he was part of a blockbuster trade between the New York Yankees, Detroit Tigers, and Arizona Diamondbacks in the winter of 2009.

He was extremely productive for the Yankees over his first 3 season hitting .247/.337/.506 and belted 108 home runs and driving in 292. The 2013 season was a season that Granderson would like to forget as he only appeared in 61 games after fracturing his forearm after getting hit by a pitch in spring training and breaking his hand after getting hit by a pitch after he returned to the lineup. Overall he hit .229/.317/.407 with 7 home runs but the New York Mets looked beyond the 2013 numbers and signed him to a 4-year/$60M contract.
